Can I get a solid first year salary (after taxes) guesstimate for both Compass and Endeavor at 75hr min pay for budget planning purposes, please? (I've heard of adding the three zeros, but I figure that's before tax, right?) For the kind person who answers from Endeavor, please apply the fat tax on the $20k bonus, too. Thanks guys

If you have 0 121 time, you are probably better off going to Endeavor. Too many variables exist right now to say either one will be better. If you have 1000 121 or 135 time, then Compass.

Go to Endeavor. $26/hr x75= $1950/mo + 400 per diem/mo + $20,000 in bonus /yr = $48,200 before taxes @75/hr guarantee. Interview with Delta/SSp for FOs as well. Upgrade will pick up as attrition continues.

Why can't you use a tax estimator? You're asking others to do that for you, while you know your exact situation (state, other income, etc.)

Thanks for the responses. I'm essentially a zero 121 guy (min military PIC time). Any Compass folks able to chime in? Thanks again

I'd say the only place that Endeavor has Compass beat is pay, and that won't last forever. You will have seniority quickly at Compass. Lifers almost do not exist here.

I'm holding MSP one month after IOE at Compass. So much movement in MSP right now that you could get it almost right out of training. For take home pay adding three zeroes to hourly is exactly what I'm making on first year FO pay after tax.

I'm Compass, but Endeavor might actually be your best bet unless Compass raises all of our pay and gives us a real pathway to a major. Endeavor is done shrinking for now since it can staff and pays more reasonably.

However, those starting with 0 121 time will have a lot of junior pilots to them upgrading at Compass. Meaning their upgrade time will actually increase due to it.

Compass is one of the cheapest carriers because of it's junior pilot group. Why would Delta give that up again? And just an FYI Compass IS growing right now at 2-3 planes per month through November.

My comment is me flipping the script on the absolute moronic imbecile 404, whose divinity dictates the end of other regionals.

SkyWest would be a good option for MSP as well as Compass. However, I have heard that Compass might be downsizing MSP.
